these are like the north american indians, the original inhabitants of the western hemisphere. ong before the europeans came here we had real democracy and the american confederacy have the great law of peace. 20 miles east of the st. louis missouri is a place that was a holy place, that was our seat of government. where every year people from all of the tribes would go there to sit in counsel with each other, to bring about laws and how to treat each other and they were good laws. but for some reason when we were invaded all of that went awry. so i think we need to go back and look at history as human beings and we will find the answers they are. nobody tried to cover those answers up. nobody tried to burn those answers down. they are still there. put the human package and humanity and a lot of things will change and as far as what's happening with the police action in north dakota, the president could send the u.s. marshals out there and stop that right away. >> of another model of the parallel to get federal marshals to control the actions of local police. did you want to wei

and this is my notion of how indian gifts -- the whole question indian gifts affects american history. so the british failure and refusal to give gifts to indians in 1763 produces an explosion, pontiac's revolt, around detroit. all hell breaks loose. that sends repercussions all the way across the atlantic to london. ok, what are we going to do about this? a number of things, one of those being the proclamation of 1763. that sends repercussions all through the colonies. among the people, if you like, who matter -- colonial elites now think maybe we'd be better off on our own. and 1776, declaration of independence, philadelphia. the american revolution sends through thens all atlantic world, including to france. the french revolution sends therberations through atlantic world, including haiti. the slave revolt in haiti. napoleon's plans to rebuild an empire in north america. he sells louisiana territory to thomas jefferson. thomas jefferson sends lewis and clark up the missouri river to bought. he had and louis and clark heading up the missouri river are doing just fine with their rela

the american indians, some found themselves allied with the french and some with the british.imately, they were the ones that suffered the most. though there was not an open declared war, it is kind of ongoing tension all -- always here. some in the individual nations had allied themselves either with the french or the british. there was always a possibility of traders being ambushed and robbed. always murders of indians. there was a lot of potential for a larger conflict. surfacey went to the when the french and indian war really kick off in full force. we have often referred to it as the french and indian war. a conflict that was really, some as the firstbed it world war. the englishe clear were going to be victorious in the conflict. the french and the british had signed a peace treaty in 1763, the american indians were left out of that equation. in 1763, the indians and the ohio country and the great lakes banded together in a conflict that is often called oneok's war or pontiac's rebellion. they had struck almost every frontier in the region simultaneously almost and mana

the first indian princess . and that mythologized figure consists. in the hollywood movies. many euro-american women. they depicted it as having later skin and being more european than others. and having a petite but shapely body. the mythical indian princess is a common stereotype though. sacajawea and other native women scout although they were not categorized as princesses. such as lewis and clark. and to for traders. often they are portrayed as daughter of tribal chiefs. they had stated that the myth helps to perpetuate the values because she leads her people to become a christian. that is the myth of pocahontas as they focus on those values and the uses of squaw has rolling into disrepute. but it is still ambiguous. on television all the time. as well as historical documents. it's there. there are also also still around a thousand official place names in the united states in which of the term squaw is used. further it remains an active serotype of traditional women even when the term itself is not used anymore. in movies in history even once a been made and right now. we see an image of a drudge

the exercise is not to turn it on its head and say, ok, white guys bad, indians good, that the way we've understood american history is all wrong. --hink the purpose here is ok, if this is how american history unfolded, we get a better understanding of that if we identify and follow that indian strand, or those multiple indian strands through that story. i don't know whose question that was. [laughter] >> what role did the comanche play in that mexican/american war? did they just defend the border? did they take a side? prof. calloway: no. they're doing their own thing. doing their own thing. it is not unlike previous wars where indian people have been pulled in to that. they see no reason to do that. they are not involved in that way. >> do americans just stay out of their border lands all together until -- prof. calloway: no. there's a lot of overlap. this whole area. one of the interesting things that happens when looking at that border -- i'm not going to go back to that map because that might confuse things. but think of that border that's run at the end of the mexican war with the treaty of guadalupe.

. >> yes, i was just wondering if you -- what the native american, the indian reaction has been to yourook? are they in agreement with what you have said? are they appreciative or are are they otherwise? >> well, i have not received any harsh criticism. that doesn't mean it won't come and you can imagine that all people have strong reactions to other people writing their history. do we want brits writing our history? i don't think so and i think there's a natural reaction by native people that they want to control their story and a lot of history is about control and that's why it's taken so seriously and we have big debates and big arguments over it. it's about our soul as people. and in a from so many different places and you can try to make it work. >> and but it's tough. it's tough. and the worst story of all is at the end of the conflict they decided the only way to beat them and force him to surrender was to remove them to prisons in florida. all of them. >> that's exactly what they did. but before they did the removal they brought several other leaders back to meet with the presi

the democratic leader. mr. reid: this month is native american heritage month. during this month, we honor the contribution of american indians. also, of course, alaska natives and hawaiians. but we don't have to look very far, madam president, to see how native americans continue fighting for their heritage, and they really must fight for their heritage. pick up a newspaper, turn the news on any channel you want, and you'll see what's happening at the standing rock reservation in north dakota. the standing rock sioux tribe is opposed to the construction of a portion of the north dakota access pipeline that passes near their reservation where it crosses the missouri river. they're concerned that the construction of a pipeline could not only destroy ancestral burial grounds but also contaminate the water supply for the tribe as well as millions of others who depend on water from the missouri river. standing rock sioux are fighting for their land, the right to clean water, clean air and their history. they're not alone. the standing rock sioux have been joined by thousands of others, including members of hundreds of tribes thro
